The illustrator made a really good use of graphical techniques in regards to the train because they relay the different emotions on each individual person. For example, the children seemed happy and excited because the train is a new fun experience for them, however when the illustrations focus on the train itself it is portrayed as being a harsh environment. Another way this is shown is when the illustrations are of the parents or adults, they seem stressed and are looking at the situation in a completely different way than the children.

on page 37 the illustrator doesn't use as many text boxes to emphasize or show the situation they are and how it was for them being in there. The illustrator also uses words to show the people who are coughing and how loud it is and that's all you can hear on the train to show how silent everyone is.

On page 42 the train suddenly stops and the people on the train are forced to get off this is setting the mood of fear and suspense. They think there going to die and not ever be able to see another day making it so many people on the train become scared.

On page 37 the illustrator minimizes the dialogue to further emphasize the pictures and instead of carry on conversation, point out the diseases and side affects on traveling on the road with limited resources. They also show the different age groups and faces among these different people to also emphasize the diversity among age groups different families from all over the country.

In one of the panels on page 37 where it shows them all sitting on the train, with a view of all the different people on the train. At the back of the train, you can see a guard holding a gun, looking serious as well as how tense and nervous the other passengers on the car seem to be.

By illustrating the different noises being heard on the page it makes you feel the uncomfortableness of the panels. The panels are also just drawn darker in contrast to when George in outside and the page feels and looks brighter.

The author uses image in page 39 as we look at different family moments, their mood which looks like they are worried, sad and they don’t know what to do. It gives the audience different perspective of what the Japanese families are going through in this situation and it also shows George looking native and not knowing why people are crying when this is supposed to be a vacation.

The mood is set by the dark backgrounds to create somber, sad atmospheres in pages 37 and 39 and by the light and sparkles to create a naïve happiness for the children in pages 38 and 43. On page 37, few words are spoken, and sound effects are ominously written in large, faded text.

The over all mood and environment of the Train shown by the illustrator was cramp, dim and depressing. Even though the train was like this the kids still had joy and excitement for were they are going due too the parents stretching the truth.

The illustrator used line choice and lighting in order to illustrate a gloomy mood, representing that grim situation that the people are in. The panels lighten up in terms of lighting when the children are shown to be playing, displaying their innocence and unawareness of the situation.

I think that the illustrator did a good job showing the children's point of view that they had games, candies and thought they we're going on but when they focused on the parents or "zoomed out" to show the rest of the car seeing people crying, it showed the despair the adults/older children.  The big eyes and sparkles seen on the kids with not many shadows versus the dark dreariness of the car.

When the focus was on the children, there were sparkles and the children looked happy and excited. However, when the focus shifted to everyone, it showed how rough the conditions were and how sad everyone was. It shows how the parents helped their kids persevere by making things seem positive and exciting. - Henry

On page 37, the illustrator didn't use much dialogue, rather, he used onomatopoeias, showing the baby crying and old people coughing. It showed that a variety of age groups were bunched together, put in this train and forced to follow orders. The men blushing from the breast feeding, families crying on page 39, the fear depicted in page 41 showed that the characters continue to try persevering but are unable to ignore how skittish and sorrowful they felt.

There are no smiles on the train except for the oblivious children , the adult passengers were worried, sick, and they had no idea where they were going to end up, so the illustrator drew stressed, dreadful and negative people to show how they were feeling about the situation.  -Emerson

The mood created through the of subject to subject and various visual techniques displays the train scene as aggressive. The ride to the camp was harsh and unnerving and that is shown clearly by certain scenes highlighting the negatives of what goes down inside the train. However on page 38 the children appear to be happy and excited, the author highlights this positive influence for the father to persevere by placing light on his children (sparkles)

The way that the illustrator uses choice of flow to have the reader follow along and almost create a movie of what is going on in my head. It also depicts the boys being very excited and curious about the train ride, but in the panel next to it, it shows other people on the train crying.

Some of the more important graphic techniques are sound effects and facial expressions. The sound effects of coughing and crying create a mood of chaos and disorder, which is what the characters are feeling to a certain extent. The facial expressions on most of the adults are that of some kind of distress, despair, or sadness. The children's facial expressions however are joyful and grinning. It shows how the children are innocent and oblivious to the situation at hand.

On page 37, the illustrations emphasized that the train ride was uncomfortable for many people by zooming out and zooming into specific situations where their face expressions are very detailed.

It let the reader to feel in the moment, hearing all of the sounds around them. As well as the sparkle that the children felt when they were told they're going on a vacation. But once it wasn't on the children you could see the true agony everyone else was in, as they were scared for what was to come. - Hayley

The images illustrated display the train's environment as a bit unnerving and frightening. There are soldiers with guns guarding the Japanese Americans. On board the train, you can see babies crying, mothers breastfeeding, seniors coughing, and many many crying or in distress. The kids though are illustrated as if they are happy and excited to be on this train as they have no idea what is happening.

The uncomfortable conditions of the train are shown with the coughing noises sort of overlapping into their space. The adults are all depicted expressionless to sad, which shows that the mood in the train is very defeated and somber. However, for the children, they are still shown to be excited. The contrast between his fathers sad expression and the sparkles of excitement George gets asking about where their going really shows the difference in attitudes between the children and adults. It shows people crying, and it shows George confused, which really lets us know that he doesn't understand the gravity of the situation yet.

On the pages with a lot of worried adults, they have these scared faces and a lot of dark background. For example, the last panel on page 42 has George's father looking very worried with a purely dark backdrop to give that sense of dread and fear. On the other hand, the panels with George and his brother running around carefree and exploring, the backdrop is all white with little detail. The purpose of this is to have that childless simplicity to the event, only seeing the good parts, whereas the actual mood is conveyed on the other panels, with a lot of dark and gritty details

The illustrator used many emotions to show the overall mood when all of the passengers were sitting on the train. They were coughing and crying, confused about where they were going and what was next.

The train was depicted as a crowded space that was uncomfortable for all. The panels were dark and gloomy showing the parents  coughing or crying. But when the kids were playing it was light and there were sparkles. This illustrates how the children don't fully know what's going on and they haven't yet learned the skill of perseverance so they don't know how hard it will be when they arrive at their destination. - Jo Smith
